[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Exactly how many students need to be moved out of Gunston? More than 300? If you take the 300 in immersion and move them to WMS and then move kids into Hamm with boundaries is that not fixing the issue of too few kids at WMS and Hamm and too many at Gunston? You act as if the only ways to move students are the two maps/scenarios they put out to bolster their foregone decision. It’s not. Immersion out of Gunston to WMS, shift TJ/Swanson PUs to Hamm and I think we’re there. I’m not saying this is the best way, but it is a possibility and should be looked at in terms of how many buses it requires and how many neighborhood students would be moved/realigned. That hasn’t happened, and “because it’s bad for
Immersion” doesn’t cut it. [/quote]
If a significant number of immersion students zoned for Gunston, Kenmore and TJ don't agree to move to WMS (highly likely), then you haven't moved 300 students.  You are back in the same pickle with needing to move neighborhood boundaries to move more students north.  You've harmed the program without accomplishing your objective of protecting a few Taylor students from being rezoned.[/quote]

This is exactly what Key people said to protest moving Key. When the time came, they all moved with the program. [/quote]

Moving an essentially central Arlington elementary program to another essentially central Arlington location is not the same - at all - as moving from Gunston to Williamsburg. Second of all, Key and Claremont draw zones are divided up by geography; so they aren't fully countywide. [/quote]
